“Surely we need information,” Ratzinger said, “but the power of appearance, an appearance that replaces reality itself, becomes more and more powerful, and man does not see reality any more.” At the end, “the virtual world becomes truer and stronger.” Instead, “we want no appearance, but truth, and this gives us real freedom.

“Today we see how the world of finance can dominate man. Possessing and appearing dominate the world and enslave it.” This, because “the world of finance is no longer an instrument to promote the welfare and the life of man, but becomes a power that oppresses him, like worshipping in Mammon the false divinity that dominates the world.” The Pope said that Christians must be “non-conformist.”

Observers describe the Pope‘s statements as a reaction to recent media stories involving some Cardinals accusing other Cardinals of plotting to kill the Pope. If that is true, Ratzinger has raised the stakes in connecting evil media campaigns to the financial powers that are destroying the world, and implicitly calling for finance to become again “an instrument to promote the welfare and life of man.”

As a longtime member of The John Birch Society (JBS), I’ve been watching the Glenn Beck TV Show closely since he moved over to Fox News in 2008. I’ve been fascinated to see how Beck has been getting progressively (sorry for the bad word choice) closer to presenting American history in the way that The John Birch Society has been doing it for over 50 years.

Last night’s show, June 24, which was an overview of communism in America, was the ultimate in complete agreement between the Beck and JBS presentations of American history. In case you missed Beck’s show, here’s the YouTube video for Segment A of the show:

There’s so much that could be said, but I’ll settle for just a couple of the most interesting bits of Beck/JBS overlap from last night’s show.

Just as Beck did on his show last night, The John Birch Society has always stood up for McCarthy. For example, our magazine, The New American, published a glowing review of Blacklisted by History back in 2008 which was titled, “A Reputation Rescued.” Of course, both the JBS and McCarthy have been treated horribly by the mainstream media. Robert Welch, founder of The John Birch Society, once said that the top priority of the Communist movement worldwide in the 1950s was to destroy Joe McCarthy and the top priority in the 1960s was to destroy the JBS. The mainstream media certainly got on board with both of these priorities.

Another interesting connection is that M. Stanton Evans’ father, Medford Evans, was one of the leading writers for the Society’s earlier magazine,American Opinion, during the 1960s and 70s.

Now let’s look at a second interesting connection. One of the highlights of last night’s show was Ezra Taft Benson, Secretary of Agriculture under President Eisenhower and later the leader of the LDS Church, and his statements in the 1960s about the Communist threat to America. It turns out that Benson was a good friend of Robert Welch in the 1960s. Furthermore, Benson’s son Reed became an employee of the JBS in 1962, and eventually worked in the Washington, DC office of the JBS in the late 1960s and early 70s.

Ezra Taft Benson gave a solid endorsement of The John Birch Society in his major speech, “Stand Up for Freedom” (online video of speech), in 1966 as he explained how he had encouraged his son, Reed, to work for the JBS.

I certainly hope Glenn Beck gives us many more shows like last night’s. He is providing the vital historical understanding that Americans need for making sound choices in electing state and federal legislators and other officials.

Finally, here’s a nine-minute video of Robert Welch giving two speeches at a JBS Council Dinner in 1974. In the first speech he quotes from his two-day speech in 1958 at the founding meeting of the JBS. The ten predictions he made about our nation in that speech still amaze people with their accuracy. In the next speech Welch provides the five policies that political candidates in 1974 should promote. Again, it is amazing how well these policies fit today’s conditions.

The Council on Foreign Relations is the Rothschild’s invisible ministry of war. Before the Rockefeller brothers, before the CFR, there was an evil little man named Edward Mandel House, who was the chief Rothschild operative in the US. He’d honed his king-making skills in Texas before his assignment to find a suitable Democratic candidate for the 1912 presidential election. He came up with a pompous professor and governor of New Jersey, Woodrow Wilson, who was susceptible to House’s flattery and his ability to get things done.

Although this video has been available since our 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2008, we’ve changed the title to “The John Birch Society in 1958, Forerunner of the Tea Party Movement?” Take a look and see how appropriate the new title is. I believe the inclusion of this video in this article will help you see just how close the worldview of the JBS is to that of Glenn Beck in particular and the Tea Party movement in general.

Former President Bill Clinton tells Newsmax: “He’s articulate and he tries to think of a conservative version of an idea that will solve a legitimate problem,” Clinton said, by way of explaining the Gingrich resurgence. “For example, I watched the national security debate last night. And Newt said two things that would make an independent voter say, ‘Well, I gotta consider that.’” Video

Council On Foreign Relations

The issue involves much more than a difference of philosophy, or political viewpoint. Growing up in the midst of the “Cold War,” our generation were taught that those who attempted to abolish our national sovereignty and overthrow our Constitutional government were committing acts of treason. Please judge for yourself if the group discussed is guilty of such.

If one group is effectively in control of national governments and multinational corporations; promotes world government through control of media, foundation grants, and education; and controls and guides the issues of the day; then they control most options available. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the financial powers behind it, have done all these things, and promote the “New World Order“, as they have for over seventy years.

The CFR is the promotional arm of the Ruling Elite in the United States of America. Most influential politicians, academics and media personalities are members, and it uses its influence to infiltrate the New World Order into American life. Its’ “experts” write scholarly pieces to be used in decision making, the academics expound on the wisdom of a united world, and the media members disseminate the message.

Baron M.A. Rothschild wrote: “Give me control over a nation’s currency and I care not who makes its laws.” All that is needed to effectively control a government is to have control over the nation’s money: a central bank with a monopoly over the supply of money and credit. This had been done in Western Europe, with the creation of privately owned central banks such as the Bank of England. Georgetown professor Dr. Carroll Quigley (Bill Clinton’s mentor while at Georgetown) wrote about the goals of the investment bankers who control central banks: “… nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole… controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.”

Thus the need for the Glass Steagall Act by FDR, which protected Americans from Rothschild exploitation by investment banking. Bill Clinton subsequently repealed The Glass Steagall Act in 1999, which allowed Rothschild to foment a housing bubble, using fraudulent derivative backed mortgages. This then led to the pretext for too big to fail by Rothschild cronies, which subjugates Americans, to pay off $Trillions worth of printed money.

Re-Introduction of the Glass Steagall Act, would retroactively make Rothschild responsible for his own housing bubble debt, and retroactively lower the debt ceiling into normal levels. 1845: Andrew Jackson (The 7th President of the United States) dies.

This Great Patriot leaves instructions in his will to have, “I Killed The Bank,” inscribed on his headstone, a reference to the fact he banished the Rothschilds second Central bank in the United States from the US in 1837.

The Bank of the United States (1816-36), an early attempt at an American central bank, was abolished by President Andrew Jackson, who believed that it threatened the nation. He wrote: “The bold effort the present bank had made to control the government, the distress it had wantonly produced…are but premonitions of the fate that awaits the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it.”

Thomas Jefferson wrote: “The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution…if the American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

Members of the Council on Foreign Relations:

The Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations is composed in total of thirty-six officers. Peter G. Peterson and David Rockefeller are Directors Emeriti (Chairman Emeritus and Honorary Chairman, respectively). It also has an International Advisory Board consisting of thirty-five distinguished individuals from across the world.[3][4]

Some corporate members:

Some of the corporate members follow, most of which are on the Fortune 500 list.

James Baker (61st Secretary of State of the United States under Bush-41, and 67th Secretary of the Treasury of the United States under Ronald Reagan, 10th & 16th White House chief of staff to President’s Reagan and George H.W. Bush}

Thurbert Baker (former Democratic Party attorney-general of the state of Georgia)

JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY ORGANIZED TO COUNTER THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS:

The John Birch Society believes that the CFR is “Guilty of conspiring with others to build a one world government…”. Conservative Democratic congressman from Georgia Larry McDonald, the second head of the John Birch Society, introduced American Legion National Convention Resolution 773 to the House of Representatives calling for a congressional investigation into the Council on Foreign Relations, but nothing came from it.

Unconstitutional Powers By Repetition

Usurpations by one branch of government, of powers entrusted to a coequal branch, are not rendered constitutional by repetition.

The United States Supreme Court held unconstitutional hundreds of laws enacted by Congress over the course of five decades that included a legislative veto of executive actions in INS v. Chada, 462 U.S. 919 (1982).

Constitutional Republic Of The United States

True Federalism.

“The way to have good and safe government is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the functions he is competent to.

Let the national government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations; the State governments with the civil rights, law, police, and administration of what concerns the State generally; the counties with the local concerns of the counties, and each ward direct the interests within itself.

It is by dividing and subdividing these republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations, until it ends in the administration of every man’s farm by himself; by placing under every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best.

What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body.”
